STORIES FROM THE WEB

On Saturday in Arlington, Angels outfielder Colin Cowgill popped a Yu Darvish changeup down the first base line and into the stands, where it was caught by Yu Darvish.

That’s right. Yu Darvish was on the mound pitching and in the stands catching foul balls, which could only mean one of two things.

Okay fine, it was number two. I can’t seem to find his actual name (because no one who’s actually talked to him has cared enough to ask, I guess), but he has been spotted at a number of Rangers games in various locations, and he goes by the nickname “Minivish.”

Here’s Minivish catching the foul ball pitched by Darvish:

So don’t worry, everybody. The space-time continuum is going to be just fine. It was just Yu’s Doppelgänger.
